> No nothing is thread safe in Drools 3.0

Mark, can you please clarify this statement? Are you
referring to all Drools classes? Or you simply meant
that the objects we use wouldn't get special
protection from Drools?

I raised the question a while back about the
thread-safety of RuleBase, and got a positive answer
from Michael. Now this sweeping statement got me
worried again.:) My scenario:

Multiple threads accessing the same instance of
RuleBase, each creating a new WorkingMemory, asserting
their own facts, then firing.

Can RuleBase handle that?

Thanks,

Yuesong
